SISIS Returns to GroundsFest with Practical Advice and Proven Solutions

Following one of the hottest and driest Julys on record, according to early provisional Met Office figures, grounds staff and greenkeepers across the UK have faced one of the most challenging growing seasons in recent memory. Prolonged dry weather and increasingly unpredictable conditions have placed greater emphasis than ever on maintaining healthy, resilient playing surfaces.

These challenges will provide the backdrop to SISIS’ return to GroundsFest 2026, where visitors to Stand OSA170 can discover a comprehensive range of turf preparation and maintenance solutions, backed by decades of practical experience and technical knowledge.

For generations, SISIS has worked alongside professionals responsible for football, rugby, cricket, golf, bowls, education and amenity turf. That experience has shown that successful turf management isn’t simply about choosing the right machine, but selecting the right maintenance practice, carrying it out at the right time and ensuring equipment is correctly set up to achieve the best possible results.

The SISIS stand will feature tractor-mounted and pedestrian machinery, hand tools and specialist equipment covering every stage of turf preparation and maintenance, including scarification, aeration, overseeding, brushing, top dressing and surface preparation.

Darren McMahon, Head of Marketing at Howardson Group, said:

“This season has reminded everyone in the industry that there is no substitute for strong, healthy turf. The weather may be beyond our control, but how and when we prepare and maintain playing surfaces isn’t. Every venue is different, particularly after a season like this, and understanding when conditions are right to carry out maintenance often has just as much impact as the machinery itself. Those are exactly the conversations we’ll be having with visitors throughout GroundsFest.”

Built in Britain, SISIS machinery has earned a reputation for exceptional durability, dependable performance and long service life. Alongside its natural turf expertise, the company will also be showcasing the Syn-Pro range, supporting facilities responsible for synthetic sports surfaces with specialist maintenance equipment and practical advice.

Visit the SISIS team on Stand OSA170 at GroundsFest 2026 to discuss your maintenance challenges and discover dependable solutions for every stage of turf preparation and maintenance.

Returning to this year’s event, the Jupiter ATI will once again take centre stage, giving visitors the opportunity to see the machine up close and speak with the Hunter Grinders team about the benefits of precision grinding for professional cylinder mower maintenance.

Designed for busy workshops, the Jupiter ATI combines automated traverse, indexing and in-feed functions with precision engineering to minimise operator input while delivering accurate, repeatable grinding results. Smooth linear bed rails with self-adjusting bearings enable grinding accuracy to within 0.05 mm (2 thou), while the machine accommodates cylinders up to 1067 mm (42″). Advanced spin and relief grinding capabilities, together with a solid cast bed construction and twin LED work lights, provide the precision and durability demanded by professional workshops.

Since GroundsFest 2025, Hunter Grinders has further expanded its range with the launch of the Amazon Bottom Blade Grinder. Although the Jupiter ATI will be the featured machine on the stand, visitors will also be able to discuss the Amazon with the Hunter Grinders team and learn how the two machines combine to provide a complete grinding solution for modern workshops.

Throughout the exhibition, Hunter Grinders’ technical specialists will be available to answer questions, discuss individual workshop requirements and explain how precision grinding contributes to improved cutting performance, longer component life and consistently high standards of mower maintenance.

Whether visitors are considering upgrading existing equipment or investing in a new workshop, GroundsFest provides the ideal opportunity to discover why professional turf maintenance teams continue to choose Hunter Grinders for precise, accurate and dependable grinding solutions.

Visit the Hunter Grinders team at GroundsFest 2026 to see the Jupiter ATI and discuss the latest developments in precision grinding technology, including the new Amazon Bottom Blade Grinder.
